Hearing for Poulsbo doctor postponed

TUMWATER — A January hearing for a Poulsbo doctor charged with misconduct has been postponed.

The health law hearing on charges against Narinder Duggal set to begin Jan. 27 in Tumwater was cancelled. Thomas Olmstead, the attorney representing Duggal, said a hearing will likely be held in February. An exact date was not available Thursday.

The state Medical Quality Assurance Commission charged Duggal with sexual and profressional misconduct last year. His medical license is suspended pending the outcome of the case.
